Noisette, or Tender Climbing Roses. 
A new Rose of American origin which has been highly praised by all 
who have tried it. The color is a beautiful, clear shell-pink, and it 
blooms in clusters. We append the opinion of Mr. W. C. Egan, a well- 
known rosarian : 
“ When a novelty proves exceptionally good 1 feel like calling the attention of my 
friends to it. I have grown about all the, so-called Ramblers , but none among them 
can compare with the new climbing Rose, Dorothy Perkins. It flowers in clusters 
of from ten to thirty , each flower considerably over o.n inch in diameter , the stem to 
the cluster being quite long , thus making them available for cutting and interior dec¬ 
oration. The buds are of good length and rival those of that charming fairy Rose, 
Mme. Cecil Brunner, resembling bisque yiork in their daintiness. The flowers are 
fragrant and last a long time in good, condition. It is said to have withstood a vrinter 
temperature of 20° below zero uninjured .”

per doz. ; 3d size, 15c. each, $1.50 per doz. 
Climbing Clotbilde Soupert. 
An invaluable addition to our list of hardy Roses of climbing habit. 
It has withstood a temperature of twenty degrees below zero. It 
blooms most profusely on growths made the previous season, producing 
hundreds of clusters of perfect flowers. The color is French white with 
a distinct center of silvery-rose; flowers perfectly double even in the 
hottest weather. It is the healthiest climbing Rose we know, has never 
had any disease and .should succeed everywhere.
